Damn Canadians.

For somebody who hates people hating on USA, I find it odd that you seem to hate Canadians.

I actually like there accent.

I've lived here my whole life and there's been multiple generations of my family that have lived here. I know the accent inside and out so don't try to lecture me on what it does or doesn't sound like. List all the places you've been, doesn't make you more knowledgeable about my accent when I've been speaking with it for 2 decades. It's a varied accent but it's dilluted like that wiki article said. In many places the main difference between the two is the slang used in the Black Country (like I've stated a lot of times already). They used to be more distinctive and even though I don't like being confused with a Brummie I can understand why people could confuse the two...because they are similar.

It's a nonsensical comparision. You got your infractions for blatant trolling and baiting of members and you've been reported by many members throughout your time here, the quote from Ben's sig was making light of a silly situation and no one took it seriously or was offended by it. It's not created any problems, if it did then Ben would have to take it out of his sig but it isn't so it'll stay there until he sees fit to get rid of it.

There's no hypocrisy here, try harder next time.

You realise that we didn't actually say any of those things in his sig?

Wow the ego.

You must be operating under the misguided view your travel and experience has in some way shape or form opened your mind.

Believe me its apparent to all, it hasnt.

That's good for you, send me a postcard on your travels but doesn't do anything for your argument though.

Neither. These are two of the most famous houseguests from the Big Brother USA series, Will and Janelle. Will is widely considered to be the best player ever in the 12 years of that show and Janelle is probably the most loved houseguest ever. They're a cute couple.

Fair enough, it just irks me when someone tries to tell me about something I've known all my life.

Firstly, thank you for point out my spelling mistake, but next time make sure you use capital 'I' if you want to point out my flaws.

Secondly, my sig has nothing to do with this thread or you.


Back to the topic: most people won't hate the American accent, but you will always get those few that do. Same with any accent, anywhere in the world.
